Method and composition for bonding components to glass
First Claim
1. A method of bonding a component to a surface comprising the steps of:
- (a) disposing a thermosettable pressure sensitive adhesive composition between said component and said surface, said pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising (i) the polymerization product of a monomeric or partially polymerized composition comprising at least one polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a non-tertiary alcohol;
(ii) a thermosettable epoxy resin; and
(iii) a pigment, said polymerization product, said epoxy resin, said pigment, and the relative amounts thereof, being selected such that said pressure sensitive adhesive composition undergoes a detectable color change upon reaching a pre-determined level of cure; and
(b) curing said pressure sensitive adhesive composition until said composition undergoes a detectable color change to form a thermoset adhesive bonding said component to said surface.

Abstract
A method of bonding a component to glass comprising disposing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet material between said component and said glass so that said adhesive sheet material is adhered to said component and said glass, wherein said adhesive sheet material comprises the photopolymerization reaction product of starting materials comprising: (a) a monomeric mixture or partially prepolymerized syrup comprising at least one acrylic acid ester of an alkyl alcohol and at least one copolymerizable monomer; (b) an epoxy resin or a mixture of epoxy resins, (c) a heat-activatable hardener for the epoxy resin or mixture of epoxy resins, (d) a photoinitiator, and (e) a pigment.
